Description

Cell Signaling Everything that affects your body, from the most mundane things to those that are life-threatening, work through intracellular signaling mechanisms. Therefore, it is vitally important for you to understand how your cells respond to the signals they receive. Unfortunately, the flat 2-dimensional drawings typically used in textbooks do not convey the "dynamic" nature of these processes, causing many students to struggle to understand cell signaling. In most cases, this problem arises because it can be difficult to envision the different components involved and where things take place in the cell. As a result, the majority of students simply memorize the information for an exam and then forget it immediately. This ebook addresses that problem first by putting you on the cell surface where you can see a ligand interact with its receptor, and then taking you inside where the dynamic nature of intracellular signaling becomes apparent. Within this context, cell signaling will finally make sense, taking you to the point where you can actually apply your new knowledge rather than just lose it.

The book has 6 chapters: 1)Introduction to Ligands and Receptors, 2) Agonist-Receptor Interactions, 3) Second Messenger Systems, 4) Effector and Accessory Molecules, 5) Overview, 6) Scenario - you are a scientist. It contains over 60 animations, 80 assessment items, a dozen rotatable 3D models and a complete glossary.

Tom Robertson, Lessie Renee Stander, Sean Joseph Durkin, Spencer L Grimm, Jim Moore, Scott Brown, Jenny Brewer, Alex Turbyfield & Jef Freydl Learning biology just got easier. Understanding how cells transport ions and molecules across their membranes is one of the most important concepts in biology. Once you have mastered these processes, you’ll have a great foundation to learn more complex systems such as membrane potential, action potentials, and how cells respond to external stimuli. This book is designed for high school biology students, and those who wish to pursue careers in biomedical science, from nursing to neurosurgery!

Traditional textbooks are limited to text and still images. This book is intended to help students understand the dynamic world of cell biology through visual tools and interactive content, such as videos, 3D animations, and rotatable models of proteins and molecules. Interactive annotated images, reference materials, embedded assessment items, and study cards also aid students in understanding the dynamic world of cells.

You will learn:

The mechanisms of diffusion, passive transport, active transport, and primary vs. secondary transport.
How cells use the transport of ions and molecules to regulate their internal environment and respond to changes (homeostasis).
How concentration differences in water, ions, and molecules affect molecular transport mechanisms.
Other biological, chemical and physical science concepts which give context and clarity to cell membrane transport, including ions and molecules, solubility, the constitution of the cell membrane, ATP hydrolysis, equilibrium, and much more!

Tom Robertson Treat yourself to a break from the daily routine. Imagine myths in modern settings. Is re-enacted now and do legends still unfold amid the turmoil of our times? Can ghosts and guardian angels help or harm? Do Kelpies come ashore at the ebbing of the tide and adopted Silkies have to swim away? Do buildings and their owners interact? If not - why not?

Tom Robertson & Murray Scougall Tom Robertson has spent a lifetime hunting for ghosts. His quest to uncover the supernatural started at the tender age of seven with his first terrifying encounter with the Black Lady of Larkhall. It was a day he would never forget. Since then, Tom has embarked on countless investigations of the weird, the freakish and the unexplained. In some cases he has uncovered perfectly rational explanations -others remain a mystery to this day. Ghosthunter is the astonishing story of Tom Robertson's most challenging cases, including his encounters with the Black Lady, the Maid of the Glen, the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui and a castle-dwelling vampire with an unimaginable connection to the legendary Prince of Pop, Michael Jackson. These fascinating tales will stretch the imagination but they all happened to ghosthunter Tom Robertson.

Tom Robertson & Antony Hammond In a time when greed is good and money talks, one man has had enough of living in the big, rotten apple.

1986 is coming to an end, the economy is booming, Manhattan looks beautifully white and festive from the back of his private limo. From the outside he seems to have it all, the great job, the money, the clothes, the looks, the women but Toby Robinson is having a crisis of conscience.

A typical small town guy who just wanted to make it big in the city but no sooner had his dreams came true he started to see how different dreams where once they became reality.
